Liz H.

Wanted to lose weight without being neurotic!

If Liz can do it with MBT you can too. Yes, YOU! (No, we're not yelling. We just really believe in what we do.)

The Problem

After realizing she weighed a lot more than she
thought, Liz decided it was time to do something. Liz tried other weight loss
programs but they made her feel neurotic with all of the counting. Liz, like
most people, was very good at starting a program. However, like most people,
she found it to be extremely difficult to actually stick with it- meal by meal,
workout by workout, day by day.

Liz needed daily and personal accountability along
with a realistic and sustainable lifestyle. Unlike most people, she was honest enough
with herself to realize that she needed some help. The first step to solving
any problem (and always the hardest part) is acknowledging that you do have a
problem.

95% of people won't acknowledge they need help when
it comes to weight loss and that's why year after year those same people are
making resolutions. They keep on starting but fail to keep on going. If staying
consistent were easy, everyone would do it. Luckily for Liz, there is no better
place to be than MyBodyTutor!

The Action Plan

Liz immediately loved our common sense approach. We
created an exercise and diet plan for her that she felt extremely comfortable
with.

Liz loves, like many of us, her bakery indulgences.
We built that into her lifestyle so she didn't feel deprived. We also worked on
figuring out why she loved visiting the bakery so much.

By working with her every day, we'd be able to
identify triggers, patterns and behaviors that eventually lead up to her bakery
visits. I knew we'd be able to help her lose the weight once and for all via
the MBT program because we'd be able to keep her motivated and on track each
day. And with our simple approach to health and fitness she was sure to be a
success.

Why it Worked (in her words)

I love food. I'm a vegetarian which
sounds healthy, but being a vegetarian doesn't mean you can't eat bakery. After
college, when I was about ten pounds heavier than I'd like to be, I tried
Weight Watchers, but the whole counting-points system struck me as neurotic and
really just made me more fixated on food than I was before. After trying
it and deciding it wasn't for me, I stopped thinking about my weight - for
about two years.

I also found a tea shop in my city
with the most incredible cupcakes and other treats ever, and proceeded to eat
them with abandon. My clothes got tighter and tighter, which annoyed me
in the back of my head, and I didn't like how I looked in pictures, but I
didn't think about it or confront it head-on until I randomly stepped on the
scale at my aunt's house one day and found I weighed nearly 20 pounds more than
I thought I did. That was when I decided to do something about it.

I managed to lose about 8 pounds on
my own, but my discipline was starting to lessen, and I knew I needed a serious
change for me to be able to continue to get healthier - and stay that way!

I happened upon Adam's website as a
link from a blog on happiness on slate.com. I liked it immediately
because it's common-sense, not gimmicky. In the beginning, when I was feeling
frustrated, Adam asked me if I could think of a better way to lose weight than
eating healthy and exercising consistently, and I couldn't. And that's what
I like about the program. There are no secret tricks, no weird, obsessive
behaviors you have to do (counting calories, etc), nothing but simply eating
right and getting exercise. This is, of course, what I already knew I
needed to do. I didn't doubt this. I doubted my ability to keep up
the behavior on my own.

THAT is what makes My Body Tutor so
great - not that there is a special trick, but that you are held
accountable! Having to communicate with Adam about how I was doing made
it much more difficult for me to justify unhealthy behavior.

I am incredibly stubborn. It
was difficult sometimes hearing things from Adam that I didn't want to hear -
for example, that he didn't excuse or allow me to justify eating a couple of
not-even-that-great cookies. The great thing is that as stubborn as I am,
Adam is more stubborn, and kept me motivated.

The couple of months I spent with My
Body Tutor have helped me reset myself, so that I am eating healthy and moving
more, and I have continued even since then to lose weight and get in better
shape, because of the behaviors Adam has helped me get used to. Thanks
Adam!
